    Fair point, I should have been more specific. I should have said that anyone defending Romney's secrecy on his tax returns, because these are likely the same people that wanted to see Obama's birth certificate. Many Republicans have called for Romney to release the records, and I should have noted that.

    Mitt is doing exactly what he is suppose to do regarding his tax returns and some of you are all worked up over it cuz he won't do what you want. There is no scandal, it will have no influence on the election, there is no conspiracy, no one is breaking any laws, it's much to do about nothing. Have a wonderful weekend! God bless

    Romney's well within his rights to release as little as possible and to brag about minimizing his tax burden. Also, he's ing stupid for doing so.

    It makes Romney look like an out of touch elitist.

    He could have defused this by releasing his returns when this first came up and pivoted the conversation to something Obama's more vulnerable on, like jobs.

    Where's the hypocrisy coming from? Genuine question.

    If you think he's a bad person, don't vote for him. I still don't understand why this has media predominance though.

    I guess I'm out of touch. I'd like a campaign to be a debate about policy. That's obviously not the case. The hysteria over tax returns and birth certificates feeds the popularity-contest frenzy that crowds out real debate.

    Willard himself... not only did he propose way too many tax hikes as governor in MA, he has also used tax return secrecy against his opponents in the past.....

    @vy65: you've seen presidential campaigns before, no? remember the last one?

    I find it odd you'd expect substance and policy to be discussed very much . . .

    Or the "long-lost brother", or the "hesitancy to give the kill order", etc etc etc...
    Just as much as this tax business, it's sad as it's seemingly the norm...

    I think that's right. I was loose with what I was saying -- I wish the irrelevant about birth certificates and tax returns was ignored.

    I think this gets included in because its simply and panders to this nation's vitriol. I don't think campaigns should be about this but unfortunately they are.

    Guy Debord had some good thoughts as to why.

    At least the tax returns thing is based in some legitimate policy concerns - the economy, and the tax code, tbh.....

    Also, when both candidates are exactly the same, nitpicking is unavoidable, tbh...

    "debate about policy"

    this week is all about GeckoRyanCare vs ObamaCare.

    Gecko's extreme secrecy indicates something important about his character and persona life. Americans want and have a right to know about the man who could waste 1000s of their lives in bull wars like Iraq, Afganistan, etc. We already got screwed by the Repugs NOT saying their priority from 21 Jan 2001 was in to invade Iran for oil.

    "running for public office, he should expect this "

    In GeckoWorld, Gecko is "en led" to maintain extreme secrecy from You People
    So naturally I can expect for you to call on Obama to release all if his college records to remove his "extreme secrecy" as well?
